Probably could've had Nkunku for that sum, too.

Nkunku signed a new contract at RB Leipzig. He'll likely leave next summer as the deal includes a 60M release clause.

Will he take Kulusevski's place in the starting lineup or be a bench player?

That's not really the truth. Haaland's payment has many "extras". Richarlison is a proven high quality player in the prem, Haaland hasn't tried yet. And of course Haaland would never play for spurs.

No sure if serious...

First, Haaland had a release clause. Second, agent fees (along with fees to his father) increased the deal. Finally, you cannot forget about the wages Haaland will be on compared to Richarlison.

Everton would've been relegated without Richarlison. he really is a quality player.

Maybe they'll both play but Spurs have a ton of games to play anyway.
